Picks Column: Week 9

Picks Column: Week 8

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow threw as many touchdowns as he did incompletions on Saturday: three.


The Gators' defense shut down true freshman Auburn quarterback Bo Nix, sacking him twice and forcing three interceptions — including one from safety Shawn Davis (31). The Tigers were held scoreless during the second half.

Like many others before Saturday, I had serious doubts about the potential of this Florida football team. Yes, it was undefeated. Yes, it had talent on both sides of the ball. But the way it won its games left a lot to be desired.

Picks Column: Week 5
